I think the solution is more simple than expected.. I just didn't look at the right place.
It seems the vcredist packages that need to be installed were different comparted to our windows 7 builds. However there is no form of logging that the prerequisites are not met. So now I'm installing some more vcredist versions, and see how it goes. Maybe I'll reply once more on the matter, but for now, Thanks for also looking into it.

I write to all of you, because i have no clues left, So please take a look. I hope someone has experience in a similar situation. First I need to sketch our environment: We use sccm 2012 r2. as operating system we use as wel windows 7 as windows 8.1 For most applications we use appv 5 sp2. The problem is, I cannot install the appv client via tasksequence in windows 8.1. However, the same package has no problem in windows 7. For the installation I use a simple batch file as program to install the appv client: "%~dp0appv_client_setup.exe" /q /norestart /ACCEPTEULA To all my wisdom this should work. And it does, at least in windows 7. In windows 8.1 I have configured all the prerequisites to install,. Which seems to work fine. However, after the task sequence has completed I find the following error in the logfile: The task sequence execution engine failed executing the action (Install Package appv5) in the group (Install Applications) with the error code 2147500037 Action output: ... e request handle: {94EE9456-AFE6-474F-9EB7-0BB415C3445B} is valid.

The operating system reported error 2147944003: Fatal error during installation. No luck either. However, If I browse to the location: C:\_SMSTaskSequence\Packages\P0100040, and execute install.cmd it installs fine, After that appv is working Would any of you have any idea on how to get it working?
